So PBS is doing a special called "Mormons" that examines race and sexual orientation in the LDS church. Hm...what do you think that conclusion will be? I'm guessing that since we're looking at people who lived in a pre PC world, we'll all be pissed off at the LDS over their historic discriminatory race/homosexual practices by the time the last few minutes of the film go by.

I got news for you, almost everyone had their prejudices one hundred years ago - even the Communists, Baptists, Jews, non white people, etc. Should we also look down on these people for living in log cabins and riding horses as well?

But that's not the only media production about the Mormons coming out this summer. The film "September Dawn" will be out in June. This piece is a dramatic retelling of the "Mountain Meadows Massacre" an incident where Mormon fanatics killed a group of settlers moving through the Utah territory and blaming it on the Indians living in the area. The movie poster talks of "...the reputation of one of this nation's mightiest religious figures has been preserved and protected. Until now." hinting that it will be an indictment Brigham Young for supposedly ordering the attack.

In reality, there is no real evidence that Young did order the attack. If the man were alive today, he could sue the production company for libel.

But the question comes up: why all this sudden interest in the LDS Church? The media would have us believe that it's all coicidence. Uh, huh - right. Libs would have us believe that everything in media happens by accident (accept for things on Fox News and ABC's "Path to 9-11".) The real reason can be summed up in two words - Mitt Romney. He's the Republican Presidential Candidate who used to be the Governor from Ma. The unbiased, non partisans that make up the press core are going to make sure they have some insurance should Romney ever become the Republican front runner.

There is no question at all that the American media is Mormon bashing. Are we going to see PBS specials about the way that Islamists treat homosexuals and minorities? (I know the Iranians tend to behead those found guilty of sodomy.) Wouldn't it be prudent to do so? One of the Democrat front runners (Barrack Obama) is half Islamic. In fact, tracing Obama's lineage on his father's (read his black side) leads to a history of slave ownership.

No we can't talk about Islam, they're a minority religion....of course so are the Mormons. Ah but Muslims have faced historic discrimination in the United States...and so have the Mormons. In fact, the Mormons faced such horrible discrimination that in the 1800's they actually left the country and went to Mexico. (One Mexican American war later, the Mormons found their Utah territory back in the US.) Despite all the whinning of Islamists in the modern day, they're still flocking to our nation in droves. Ah but the Mormons practice(d) polygamy. The LDS no longer endorses multiple marriages. Yeah, you can find a few radical hold outs in rural areas but for the most part they don't do that anymore. Contrast this with Muslims for whom Polygamy is a standard practice. Also marrying girls as young as 12 is commonplace.

For any lefties yelling at me right now I have to turn your own minority litmus test back around on you: How many Mormons do you know? If the answer is zero, then I guess it's safe to say #1) you're a bigot and #2) you have no idea what you're talking about so shut up.

As for myself, I do know Mormons. I do talk to them. I spent part of my childhood living in Utah - and guess what, Mormons are just like everyone else. They can haughty, arrogant, ignorant, judgemental and unaccepting. But so are some of the Muslims, pagans, witches, blacks, whites, asians, Hispanics, homosexuals, Buddhists, Baptists, Jews, Germans, Irishmen, farmers, college professors, Communists, Anarchists, Republicans, Democrats, Liberatarians and everyone else I know. Making a movies and television shows highlighting the failings (as I've been lectured by libs on so many times) is discrimination. And being as Mormons are a minority religion it's the worst kind of discrimination in the leftist mind, or it would be if the LDS congregation wasn't overwhelmingly white. Or couldn't trace their ideology back to Christ.

If it's discrimination and prejudice, then it's discrimination and prejudice. The liberals who make up our media would *never* condemn Muslims the same way they condemn Christian sects. In fact, just recently Mr. Fair Speech himself Al Sharpton said that "As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation." If that's not enough, a little over a year ago the Press Corp in the United States refused to publish the controversial Mohammed cartoons smugly telling us about "the responsibilities of speech." At the same time Madonna was hanging herself on a cross in a mock of Christianity. That was defended as "art". If we're going to critically examine Romney's philosophy then it should also be prudent to look at Obama's twisted upbringing. But we're not going to do that, that would be prejudiced of us....
